i'm 5'9 with shorter legs and a longer torso.my S2 and S5s were both 51cm, fitted by a shop that always put me on the smaller size but most other shops recommended i be on a 54cm. i always felt a little cramped and compressed on the 51s even with a longer stem.

after a lot of back and forth, i finally decided to go with the 54cm as i simply felt more comfortable while still being in a fairly aggressive position and i love how the bike feels and more importantly how i feel on the bike.

@JummsBikeStudio - yes a -17 degree stem would definitely help or you can get an even shorter headset cap.my shop already put on a shorter cap for me and then you can or you can do what ryder hesjedal does and remove the upper headset cover all together

@dlin88 - you are correct ! the bb30 cranks do not fit in the bbright BB. my cranks are GXP and fit into the bb using the enduro bb adapter. it works perfectly fine. i know some people will complain that the adapter will reduce stiffness of the bbright bb, but for me, and this completely personal, i haven't noticed a huge difference. i also believe there is a rotor adapter but not sure if its just for rotor cranks. i've heard good things about that adapter system tho.

@lovestheclimb - in comparison to my previous S5 Team and S2, this bike much much more comfortable. i like the geometry on the 54cm, coming from the 51cm which i found to be a bit too compact and aggressive. on this geo, i can still be in a good position while being comfortable. with that being said, i might opt for a 100mm stem when the season starts, feel slightly stretched out, but that's on my trainer so maybe it'll feel normal again on the road.
